Hello,
When Apache is started from root user (as all services are), even if it then
switches to the configured user:group, the rewritemap programs run under root
user.
I use this "trick" under some circumstances to run some tasks under other
identities from a rewritemap program.pl :
system("su - otheruser -c '/run/this/task -now'");
As I wrote my first Apache module a few hours ago and as it was quite easy, I
was thinking about migrating this rewritemap program part to a more elegant
module solution.
However, when module is used, Apache has switched to configured user:group, I
then think I will not be able to run commands as root from a module.
Then my question is, could it be possible ?
I could use sudo, but perhaps there's a more elegant built-in solution.
Thank you very much !
Best regards,
Ben
